Hombre, call me elitist, or civ diva ("civa" may be the right expression). And I will feel adulated. It lays in human nature (not only madonnas song) to prefer "old buddies" to play with, than some unknown names, where you don't know what to expect. And it's especcially in teamers where you are dependent on every single player. I don't mind letting some new guys in our "elite teamers", in best case on each team 1 new player. But I completely refuse to play teamers with ladder members who have around 10-20 reports only. It is always a va banque game, and as the team captain totally frustrating if these new players ignore captains advices, because they think they know it better themselves untill they die. Playing some known and established ladders we mostly avoid captains ping orgy (due to noobish planted capitol in anc teanmers), then later disputs and discussions. Play me in a cton, there I have no problems to play with new ladders. Au contraire, it's even nicer to have a Hombre as your neighbour, than tommynt. Oooops I did it again... ;D For sure EBD, I also prefer to have a neighbour like me than Tommy, im not talking about skill. Whats my pain is that this ladder that is just an elitist ladder, you are also german, so maybe the point with the elitism has to be with the nationality. Most of that elite players are from german. C3C were full of canadian and USA people, also were german, but not the same number as in the CIV. C3C were really nice people, also people who wanted to win at any time. By the way, EBD you are also from Germany?

Excerpt for a secret letter from the Reichs Duftwaffe EBD to Zentral Bunker in Berlin Civ-Mitte Oh captain, my captain, the secret sevice (SS) of our glorious Elite-Civ-Nation reports abour some heavy agitation stated on the local forum sites.... The Hombres in our Ladderness land are rumbling us in our plans according to eliminate all non-elite civers from our elite league.... We have to start with our planned automatic withdrawal action of all dishonorable ladders as soon as possible... ... in hope for a clean and immaculate MUD-ladder land. the general der Reichs Duftwaffe EBD (alias Adolf H.) Do you know that are just one country in the world where is forbidden that kind of texts?

Admins, you really have to do something against the lack of humor some people state here with their completely unconsidered and mostly childish conclusions. Either tommy nor me have something against the kingzee clan. I personally wish you all the best for the coming CCC, and also in your kingzeee teamers. Good luck and hafe fun kingzeee! It`s always good to see new clans rising up. We need some competition. lol
And apropos elite. I suggest from now on we will call our big teamers "elite teamer, only 2 noobs allowed" (1 on each team) so every1 knows whether he is welcome or not. Now wanna bann me?
... imagine I am the nice guy in MUD.... LOL

A quick note about Tommy. I've only played in a couple of teamers he hosted, unfortunately he doesn't play much anymore. But he was always a really fair host. If someone new (like me at the time) joined the game he would check their stats and copy and paste them (not my style i must admit) but it shows he was fair and wouldn't abritrarily kick you from a game. He saw my stats were ok so he let me play, then I hold my own on the front (admittedly with gandhint behind me) so next teamer he says this guy is ok he can play. He is also one of these few people who wants to get better and better at the game and has no problem in helping other people get better so that the quality of play generally improves. So please don't have a go at Tommy I think he is really good for the game in general. Although he sometimes says stuff I wouldn't .

Hombre states
Hombre enough, you and Tommy can take this to a back room. People's countries and origins and what may have happened a billion years ago have no bearing on our civ world whatsoever. To state that you are discontented with some players sense of elitism is one thing, to attack their race is quite another. Drop it and go back to civing.
btw Darling, I realise your attempt at humour to lighthen the load of this charged up thread but I'd ask for you to remove your reply. If still there in an hour I'll move it myself for review....

Haha, thanks Bantam, lp, nic, bop, tom, all. You all answered my question very well. Is obvious that what I was doing wrong all this time was to not say hello on the message board. Well why didnt someone just say so like 2 months ago! Save me spending a hundred hours of watching games noone would let me join.
I am not really for argument but for the record I did try hosting my own teamers a number of times and it was hours wasted with the few games being open player disasters of quitters instead as ladder players would usually leave before I could say anything and start their own private ones that everyone joined instead. Simpy could never get enough to stay.
I have had that happen too notagoodname where I get tricked into thinking I am finally getting a good game and then booted for someone 'better'. It has me whining like elephant man on the way out, IM NOT AN ANIMAL. I am a HUMAN BHEING! haha
Taking my civ disk out was a mistake. I cracked the inner disc pushing it down too hard and now computer wont recognise it. I cant afford another copy and expansion too so now I am stuck until expansion, and hopefully never have to format ever again haha. See you in a coule weeks when it is released. I expect some replies to my teamer IMs or I will be back here crying again ;D

What the boys in the park is dooing looks to me like those saying "im not the kinda man interested in joining a ladder, I like playing with my buddys, thats enough for me" But you want both worlds, you want the good stuff from the ladder, but you will not accept that there is a "fellowship" involved where you have to respect people, even if you dont know them. I don't even see that there is a "both worlds." For me, the purpose of the ladder is to meet and play great players who are fun to play with. If there's some other secret point to the whole thing, I don't know about it. The ladder is about making friends and having fun games against them; the ladder rules are designed to try to eliminate jackasses, quitters, and idiots and bring together good folks to play Civ with.

Pls, admins I would like you to delete Tommy and Elledge post. Tommy post is insulting a whole clan. And Elledge is just a BIG LIAR. Pls child in case im wrong can you paste where I have written that??? All you want is the post deleted? I would demand a tommy fully recant the statement, give a formal apology, all his posting privileges be taking away for a week and all existing post be re-examined for nasty content. Can you admins get on that plz? Give me a break. Will you thin skinned overly sensitive whiners go cry to your mommies instead. She is probably the only one who would give a sh!t.

I am not sure how you will learn playing the front without seeing how another experienced player does it. It's alot easier to see a vet play the front and see what kind of moves they are making, what they are producing, how the are improving their land. Once a newer player knows what actions need to be taken, their game can go up to a higher level as they apply the lessons learned. If they die within 25 turns, what lesson can they learn?
